the death of american in palestinian jealous, serene, abruptly. i encourage a thorough investigation into the circumstances of death and the injury of at least one of the journalist today. we've heard from another journalist who was at the scene but was unheard. imagine he'd outside, he described how the situation unfolded. and what happened was we were waiting for our colleagues to enter the refugee camp at the point where the israeli army was present. we chose a point that did not have any confrontations between the youth and the militant. we got to a point where we waited for shirley and put on all her safety gear. she then reached us when we moved a few meters, we made ourselves clear to the army on the passage by indicating the we are the press. then within seconds there was the 1st chart. i told him that we are being targeted european shot. i turned and found shooting on the ground. i found shop a shielding herself by a tree and screaming i turned and found turning on the ground in the 1st few seconds with the shooting. we were turning each other,

but we were being shot up. the shooting continued for more than 3 minutes on the teams that hurt their ollie was injured. he was able to cross the street and get to a point of safety on the shoes and continued. i took refuge on the staircase and the cement factory on the shooting continued. the shooting was targeting south of the last person, but this microsoft was taking refuge under a tree or colleague sharper. and i show the shooting towards her continued while she was standing under the tree. and we could not provide 1st day to shirley in the youth came to us. the ones that are in the street who are trying to pull cheering out were also shot up whenever anyone move forward. they were shot. well, joining us now as a sub la cream, he's a member of the pillow central council. festal, your reaction to these tragic events? ah, it is clear that this is a free meditation, crying clear assassination, which was

a perpetrator by the soldiers of the israeli occupation army. in order to silence the voice of for truth, that is trying to portray the in a situation of occupation and subjugation that these ladies are trying to enforce on the palestinian people. and all the information that we have gathered from the different sources and show that this was not accidental. so for accident, what's a clear explanation? and we have demanded unrestricted demand for an international

i unbiased interrogation. and we have all the, i will actually to carry out this investigation including resort to the international criminal court in order to to household the perpetrators accountable. and also those you gave them the or does to commit this crime. you wanted international unbiased international interrogation investigation of what happened. it's just not going to happen. is it on the level that you want? it won't be the transparency. there won't be the account, letty, that you in so many of the sequel there were we thing that this is a are we hope that this will be

a beginning actually off for a change in attitudes and dealing with such crimes that i've been perpetrated by the israeli occupation against our people for 74 years now. we think that it's time that her international community deserve there. are double standards and critical her position and to deal with palestine eyes. they deal with the other parts of the world where all crimes are being committed and to all those responsible for these crimes accountable and the instruments of international law. do you think also this as well as that, as well as the international community, recognizing further than they do already what the,

what the situation is in the occupied territories is important time for her mass and, and fatter to come together to present more unified face. and to the community yes, i think this is one of the lessons that are all our political parties and forces are called upon to to draw. busy from not only from this shrine, but all the crimes that have been perpetually committed against our people, that it is time to come together to hold hands and to agree on my joint program in order to carry out our struggle against the israeli occupation. in a more effective and more successful and more aurora,

or a capable way off for achieving victories against and the international arina are becaise abdul karim. appreciate that. thanks for mostly for talking to my daughter were last month international and palestinian media groups put in a formal complaint, the international criminal court accusing israel of war crimes against journalists . the committee to protect jealous says that 24 journalists, including sharina, would atlas death have been killed in israel and palestinian occupied territories since 2002 other press freedom advocates have reported higher numbers. israel systematically targets journalists including al jazeera in 2010. it detained several on board, a humanitarian flotilla, heading to garza last year israel bomb to building with meter offices, including out there in the occupied gaza strip. and barely

a month later is ready for says arrested alger, a journalist give out a book, dairy. well, covering a demonstration of the shake. jad a neighbourhood of occupied east jerusalem. that's in now from barbara 3 on fi who is executive director of international press institute. and she says it's important to find out if sharina abdougla was targeted. it has been a terrible news that they received this morning and we are very, very patent too about the killing off sharina. unfortunately, it also comes at a time when we have seen an increase in the killing of journalists around the world expect precisely d. c. and where we have seen an increase in attack against the press in the, in the west bank and gaza. so again, part of senior journalists in particular, so this we are of course, as as 0 we are also following the news and pushing. we're putting out the statement

very soon calling for an independent investigation into this case is very important to understand whether sharina has been targeted. unfortunately, the what the information we have received so far, a fear that it could have been the case, which obviously would be a very serious crime. however, the most important thing and now is that there is an independent investigation into this case and we know how hard it will be to get there. you know what, there is a principle which is core to join me core to coverage of any conflict, any crisis which is a journalist cannot be targeted that's, that's a war crime. so that is the principle that we need to fight to the front. and we cannot compromise on day. so definitely i be, i will use it. you know, reach and internet chat like the reach to international organizations and member to

ensure that there is near investigation and understand who, who is behind is killing. and whether it was a target that killing, unfortunately, it seems that you know, there was no confrontation between policy and fighters. i need to re ease rady army at that moment in that spot. so it seems that a group of journalists has been targeted. however, as, as you know, the facts are still unfolding, so we need to understand what happened that said barbara, 3 on fee, observed english. managing director joe's trundle, joined us in the studio earlier. he called for accountability for the killing st. abruptly. we do as much as we possibly can. the safety of the health and safety of our journalists is, is of paramount importance to us. we have all the necessary protocols for providing the equipment, providing security when providing procedures, safety procedures. we do everything we can to protect our journalists, but we have to recognize that it's

a dangerous world out there. and there are some states players, as well as other players who do target jonas and increasingly, unfortunately in this world today, the media is increasingly coming on the file in all sorts of different ways. whether it be physical attack or online attack, or any, all sorts of other attacks and intimidation and threats. and as well as al jazeera, another. along with other media, we have to face the reality, this depressing reality. but we cannot allow it to sign up for us to stop us from doing what we did because the world needs to know what's happening more than ever in this world. i think in now past history, it's 25 years of of algebra history, something like 11. i think it's 11 of our john has been killed the school now obviously increase the number we have had a tough experience of, of the sort of thing, but we have to carry on. i say to all my colleagues, but we do a great job. we are, we've one great awards,

we don't do this for win awards. we do this because we believe that we are doing something that is important to do. let's go to ramallah. we can speak to holly that data, who is a member of the palestinian legislative council and a friend of street, and i will let everyone to struggling to come to terms with this. tell us your thoughts right now and yes, it was sure i did it. so i was in a very good for journalist on the friends of the philistine and shitty and was the sound of the victims the people on was and today by sitting down by aiming to us in a city. and it's, and you will sign additional time for this colonial effort health system how they are aiming to assist in people. so the palestine industry,

it really was shocked of that big, big loss. and then we hope that at one moment and that the small man, so this is encourage the international community, all the people all over the world. how to charge on how to buy this apartheid system who are continue to have many, many word crimes like what with happened with our friend and our reading. i went to some city and was our son. and as i remember shitty and when i was in prison and she came and was it one of my course, she has many reports and she was really my sound and the sound of many

of prisoners inside the prison like she, she's the sound of a sting. and victim city. of course, only the editor from the circumstances is terribly tragic and sudden unnecessary. but do you see any way something for the good could come out of this? i hope, you know, this is not the 1st time that it is radia had system. i'm calling in system based on a scenario than the aiming process in a journalist. as the report mentioned, that 24 journalists were as the senate to do it from 2002 till not. but what, what happened today by you really? and aiming. and it's in front of the cameras how they and i hope that this will

be a sign of an out coming and will out coming of how the people can really punish this declines. it punishing these grounds bit as many, 10 is including the international criminal court, but on so we hope that populate on the popular side that people continue by cutting this upper tight system. and we hope that we can reach the moments to say for the patient to go out from our, our homeland as a police thing. and we will see, and it's a, it's a sign that all the people from moving the body of that shitty in from jenny and then until now she's now on here with my law. all the people on the palestinian people stand up and then to give, you know,

to give this sign that really this is an initiation for it. what should be? it was did, and for protecting miss is shitty in the memory? sure. and what should he in bed for the palestinian will should continue. and that's an important thing. if this is to be a turning point, it's time not to settle. divisions is not for promotion for us to come together to present more unified phase to the communal battle. i think that it gives money signs. besides this, besides the son of continue are struggling and continue allowed in the voice of the senior and continue on spreading the trust of the people who are suffering from this type system. beside that also, it's a sign for

a student because should be in it as simple as a sample of monitors. we have always a daily america. and today we have also another that children who are a and b it. so this is a message that the policy should be and i think that a student should continue it struggling and different ways and beside it by the student people. i believe that's also the sound of shooting because she is known all over the world, not on the end up going to still young community all over the world. so all over, all the people in the world who saw that this a crime should continue struggling. and i'm asking really to, for the memory of the city, and we will keep it going on for the memory of should the end to read it, to expand the part of it as an apartheid system. and to,

to punish this regime. it until we reach out to see them as a student to leave the juror palestinian legislative council member. thank you so much. well, to recap a veteran algebra gen listerine worker has been killed by his ready forces in the occupied west bank. his what we know. so fall, serene was reporting on israeli rates and jeanine in the occupied west back be near daily rage there after a series of deadly attacks inside israel. she was shot in the head despite wearing a processed thought to say she was killed instantly and couldn't have been saved even if she was rushed to hospital. crowds of carried her body from the hospital through the streets of janine, in a procession to honor her labor. him a mil him is the government spokesman for the palestinian authority. and he says that sri was killed to hide the truth from the world. had he dreema mac timmy rattler can this is a complete of a hard crime committed by the occupation soldiers again as

a palestinian family journalist her that work i and that works with very professionalism products in janine camp. she was shocked by the israeli soldiers as her age is clay and upholding bureau to the statement of al jazeera network. i'm this journalist lee has been murdered ahead of him and assassinated, re being an eye witness regarding the crimes channel in jeanine. and the aim of killing her is not to make their truth clear to everyone. this is very important and very clear. shahida was shahida, sharyn is a martyr, and serene is an eye witness. and she really has lost her life for the sake of the truth and reality and make the truth. and reality is lead to every one and jeanine

in alkaline in ramallah. and in garza and every where in the occupied lands in jerusalem, sharina is an icon of a national journalism. sharon is and i can in this country sharing his a butterfly of the journalism herein. i followed up with her news her every time, day and night. she read is a very professional journalist and she suspected by the audience and by the policy is that while she deserves all respect from the us of the residency, the policy number to the z and the palestinian people will celebrate the new respect journalism. the 3 journalists, we appreciate her role and appreciate the role of the professional journalism and the role of the national journalism that i'm following up them in the crimes. our

condolences to you at al jazeera and jazz re, english al jazeera, be called in at worker and we a p, our condolences. i love you to everyone we have for a year in rome, a law office because this is a big burden. this is our shark. it's quite impossible to assassinate and kill such a professional journalist with a bullet from the occupation forces in order not to make the truth clear to every one. this is a crime. well i my check here is israel and palestine director of human rights watch. he says international action must be taken to uphold israel account for the systematic and deliberate targeting of palestinian civilians and journalists. there have been up taken, killings of palestinians, of violence across is or on palestine in recent weeks. that story, whenever there are reports of killing so often isn't told. and sharyn woke up in the early morning to go to tell that story and was killed while doing that. and i

think it's absolutely horrific. it's, of course not a one off hasn't. no, we know that israeli forces systematically have used excessive force. the un commission of inquiry investigated those events and documented the israeli forces shots at journalist knowing who they were. so this is an event that needs to be understood in the context of the systematic practice and the killings of many other palestinian a journalist. so human rights watch is still investigating the specifics of what took place you've heard night witness testimonies of other palestinians who have been there, who talked about being in close proximity to israeli. of forces there being no palestinian resistance in the area. but i think it's important to understand this in the context of the systematic practice of excessive force by israeli forces.

israeli investigations are white, white, white wash mechanism. that is the assessment that's been reached by human rights organizations, including israel's premier human rights organization. but selim human rights watch has a similar diagnosis. israeli forces regularly when news, you know, of their crimes are reported say they'll investigate. those are routinely leading to a white washing mechanism, no accountability. these kinds of killings highlights the necessity of the international criminal court. moving forward, you know, with it's a formal prob, into serious crimes committed in palestine because the reality is there is no accountability for these sorts of abuses when it comes to actions by the israeli authorities. we have a long record that states back decades of palestinians journalists being detained, arrested for their, for their reporting. human rights watch is documented on these incidents and of

course is really forces regularly use excessive force. and and other means that, that go far beyond the international law, authorizes in the way of police's demonstrations in the surrounding areas and we've seen journalist shot at killed including, you know, jasa. for example, yasser. what says gen garza during the gaza march of return. and as noted, do you and investigated those events. the commission of inquiry formed to look into these events and made a clear point of noting that their conclusion was that israeli forces fired at those journalists, knowing full well who they are. they are, i sprayed to dyna brew 2. she says it's time to hold israel accountable for the death of gymnast. i am got grown very tired of the attempts to try to blame the victim for their own. yes, and i've grown very tired of the attempts by the israelis to somehow turn palestinian resistance into a crime. we know from the people who are on the ground there, we know from her colleagues,

and we have to trust your colleagues. that it was the israelis who deliberately targeted her to journalists who are on the scene. had indicated that there was no palestinian resistance there. that they made themselves very clear to the israeli army, and that despite making themselves very clear to the israeli army, that they were not only targeted but then unable to go and provide her with 1st a. this is what we know. the fact that we have to continue to question what we've seen has been a long pattern of behavior is quite frankly disgusting. and i would really love to see the world stand up and report on shitty and jeff, just in the same way that they are just $11.00 day, be reported. or that way that they would like their death to be reported. because this was a journalist with integrity with passion, who had been in very difficult situations for all of her journals. life. she been a person who covered the the massacre that occurred in gene 20 years ago. she was a person who was in gaza, who covered is really crimes there. this is a person who knew exactly how to behave and who was very much loved by all

palestinians. there the your suggestion that would be anybody but is really that would kill her is quite frankly reprehensible and discussing. indeed, the reality is there isn't it. that as far as the international community is concerned, this killing will be acknowledged. it will be marked by the internet community, but then the next community will just move on and it will be forgotten about correct. and this is why it's so important for people like you and others to continue to press forward and to demand that is going to be held accountable. then just last year, just last year we saw there is no bomb to the building of the associated press. and nothing came to pass, and we've seen this deliberate targeting a german all of these years. we've seen these rather come to try to shut down here in injury. some we've seen what they did to she bought last year. and now they've done that she, we've seen that we've seen that we've seen. it's now time for action. and the real

push on the part of journalists to make sure that the world understands that journalism is not a crime. israel, that is a criminal tv and was all incredible your lists and wonderful human being. and she will be sadly missed more than sadly, i really think that this is the time to hold it accountable. well, another journalist was injured at the scene and taken to hospital, but as in a stable condition, he was asked about what took place while in hospital. you know what the hell the, you know, he is really have chilled her, but we will continue our job and our struggle will continue for the sake and service of the people. i'd like to tell you something. first of all, these crimes of the occupation forces are ongoing. they have killed sharing and cold blood and we will never stop doing our jobs as journalists and conveying the truth to the people. we represent no threat at all to the israeli forces. we understand the laws and respect the laws and follow the laws. they have seen us and

they have tried to kill us and they have killed sharina as enough from unit patel who's a pallet. the news director for one device, a news website focusing on palestinian issues. and she says she doesn't believe israel will face accountability. hi miss time again. it has been shown that israeli forces kill palestinians including palestinian journalists without cause in the occupied territory. and it's very ex, extremely rare that israeli soldiers, captains, or military officials are ever held accountable for their actions. you know, is after sort of high profile killing like this or for example, the killing of children that often get more significant media attention. it's not uncommon for israeli officials to say that they will investigate, to express that quote unquote sadness and say that they will investigate the killing but time and time again, almost without fail. the investigation lead nowhere. you know,

it's ironic that the foreign minister says that journalists must be protected when, when you're talking about journalism in palestine, is the biggest perpetrator of crimes against journalists in, in the west bank. and so, you know, since 95780 palestinian journalists have been killed, those numbers are from the palestinian journalist syndicate. and since 2000 and it's estimated that around 50 palestinians have been killed. i talked to a representative from the journalist syndicate this morning. he said that just in the past 2 years, the palestinian journalists were killed in the west bank and gaza. hundreds have been injured. i mean, over the years and according to to base, which is israel leading human human rights organization. the use of legal for by israeli forces. the west bank is a crucial element in israel ability to maintain control over millions of palestinians. and unfortunately, journalists are often the target as they are the ones who are covering israel crimes going to tax in the occupied territory. well, not long before her death,

sharin spoken her own words about what her career as a journalist and then moved again, and i'm with

ah hello, i'm emily anguish taking over from nick clock without continuing special coverage. veteran al jazeera journalist, sharina abil, ucla has been killed by israeli forces in the occupied at west bank. al jazeera says, her killing is a blatant murder that violates international laws and norms. and the network condemns is heinous crime. a veteran al jazeera journalist has been killed by israeli forces in the occupied at west bank drain. abil o'clock was shot in the face while covering in his wily right in the city of jeanine. al jazeera media network has called it a blight and murder, violating international laws and norms. victoria gate and b o. the body of serene abu eichler is.
